A free remote design program empowering women of color.
At VECTR, we believe design should reflect everyone—not just a select few. That’s why we’re building a new kind of studio: one that delivers amazing work for clients while opening doors for fresh, diverse talent.
As an apprentice here, you’re not just “helping out.” You’re part of a movement. You’ll work on real projects, learn from mentors who care, and add your voice to the future of design.
We’re here to prove that the industry is stronger—and more exciting—when more perspectives are at the table. And we want yours.

Mentorship and career support are provided throughout the program. Plus you'll gain true industry experience through real client projects.
